Artificial tooth

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides artificial teeth of upper and lower jaws pairing between the cusp tips and pits, allowing to operate the arrangement easily by clarifying the three-dimensional positional relation of cusp tips and pits to contact with each other in occlusion and the contact region. In an artificial tooth of a mandibular first premolar tooth having a buccal cusp tip, a lingual cusp tip, a mesial pit, and a distal pit, the azimuth originating from the distal pit, the ratio of distance to the mesial surface, distal surface, buccal surface, and the lingual surface, and the positional relation of the cusp tips and pits are set appropriately. Further, in an artificial tooth of a maxillary first premolar tooth having a buccal cusp tip, a lingual cuts point, a mesial pit, and a distal pit, the azimuth originating from the lingual cusp tip, the ratio of distance to the mesial surface, distal surface, buccal surface, and the lingual surface, and the positional relation of the cusp tips and pits are set appropriately. The distal pit of the artificial tooth of the mandibular first premolar tooth is made to contact with the lingual cusp tip of the artificial tooth of the maxillary first premolar tooth, and the buccal cusp tip of the artificial tooth of the mandibular first premolar tooth is made to contact with the mesial pit of the artificial tooth of the maxillary first premolar tooth.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an artificial tooth preliminarily processed for use in manufacture of a plate denture.

BACKGROUND ART

An artificial tooth is a dental crown material preliminarily provided to a dentist or a dental technician in an anatomical form of a human tooth for use in manufacture of a plate denture. The artificial tooth is available in several types of shape, size and color, and is selected appropriately to be used depending on the condition of defect of the patient and the treatment plan.

A general fabricating method of a plate denture and a method of using the artificial tooth are briefly described below.

First, a model is fabricated by pouring plaster into a model of the oral shape of a patient which is taken by using an impression material such as silicone, agar or arginic acid.

The manufactured plaster model is installed in a device called an articulator having hinges similar to the temporomandibular joint of the patient. The artificial tooth selected according to the patient is positioned on the model while considering the entire balance and the occlusion of the upper and lower jaws. Then, the defect portion of peripheral tissues such as gum is formed by using paraffin wax so that a prototype of an entire denture called a wax denture is completed.

This denture with the model is embedded in plaster, the wax is removed to obtain a plaster model. In the plaster model, a denture based resin such as PMMA is injected, cured and hardened. The resin is taken out from the plaster model, polished and adjusted so that an artificial tooth is completed.

The plate denture is classified into a partial denture and a complete denture. The partial denture is a prosthetic appliance for compensating for the function and aesthetics of lost portion of dental root in oral in which natural teeth are partially remaining. The complete denture is a prosthetic appliance for covering the jaw losing all of the crown and root called an edentulous jaw.

A healthy person usually has 28 teeth or 32 teeth at maximum in oral. Since there exist combinations of processes of losing these teeth and various treatment plans by dentures, artificial teeth are used in a tremendous number of cases. Therefore, it has been demanded to satisfy various requirements by a limited number of types.

In particular, when occlusion of artificial teeth is required in upper and lower edentulous jaws, or dentulous jaws having similar degree of defects to the edentulous jaws, artificial teeth of upper and lower sets are used. At this time, for smooth operation, the artificial teeth are required to design the distribution of dimensions of tooth by booth so as to bite in a proper vertical direction preliminarily and to be positioned easily. However, actually such artificial teeth are rare, and the technician must decide the position while correcting the shape individually. Thus, it has been taking much time and labor to make the artificial teeth.

Patent document 1 discloses prosthetic posterior teeth formed to avoid mutual contact in lateral motion of mastication of buccal cusp. Patent document 2 discloses prosthetic posterior teeth in which the lower cusp of the maxillary posterior teeth bites and contacts with the fossa of the mandibular posterior teeth, and the buccal cusp of the mandibular posterior teeth bites and contacts with the fossa of the maxillary posterior teeth. Patent document 3 discloses prosthetic posterior teeth in which the buccal projection of the mandibular posterior teeth engages with the cleft of the maxillary posterior teeth, and the lingual projection of the maxillary posterior teeth engages with the longitudinal cleft of the mandibular posterior teeth.

In any of the patent documents, however, nothing is specified about the three-dimensional positional relation or contact region of all cusps and pits. Hence, even if artificial teeth of the mandibular posterior teeth are arranged without making gap, when attempted to position such that the artificial teeth of the mandibular posterior teeth bite the corresponding artificial teeth of the maxillary posterior teeth tooth by tooth, the artificial teeth of the adjacent maxillary posterior teeth may interfere with each other or a gap may be formed. Therefore, it was required to adjust and correct repeatedly.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Before describing an embodiment of the present invention, names of anatomical features commonly used in both human posterior teeth and artificial posterior teeth are described.

Human posterior teeth are roughly divided into an upper section of teeth visible in appearance when a mouth is opened, and a lower section of teeth embedded in the alveolar bones. The upper section is called a dental crown, and the lower section is called a dental root. The dental crown is composed of five planes including relatively flat lateral surfaces in four directions.

With respect to the lateral directions, the side contacting with buccal mucosa is called a buccal side, and the side contacting with tongue is called a lingual side, and tooth surfaces are respectively called a buccal side surface and a lingual side surface. The side contacting with an adjacent tooth is called a proximal surface, and the side closer to the anterior tooth is called a mesial side, and the remoter side is called a distal side, and the respective tooth surfaces are called a mesial surface and a distal surface.

The surface biting with the paring tooth of the opposite side jaw is called an occlusal surface. The occlusal surface has complicated concave and convex portions, and the convex portions are called the cusps. Even in all posterior teeth, at least one cusp exists each at the buccal side and the lingual side, which are respectively called the buccal cusp and the lingual cusp. Furthermore, the molar tooth has its mesial and distal cusps, and the individual buccal cusps and the lingual cusps are called a mesial buccal cusp, a distal buccal cusp, a mesial lingual cusp, and a distal lingual cusp. The most projecting point of the cusp is called the cusp tip. In the description of the present invention, a provisional system of coordinates is set for clarifying the position, and in the system of coordinates, the cusp tip shows the maximum point of Z-coordinate values.

The occlusal surface is a range enclosed by four ridges, that is, a ridge extending from the buccal cusp tip to the mesial and distal sides, a ridge extending from the lingual cusp tip to the mesial and distal sides, a connecting portion of two ridges at the mesial side, and a connecting portion of two ridges at the distal side. These four ridges are called occlusal ridges, which are respectively called a buccal occlusal margin, a lingual occlusal margin, a mesial occlusal margin, and a distal occlusal margin. The particularly protruding portions of the mesial occlusal margin and distal occlusal margin are called marginal ridges, and called a mesial marginal ridge and a distal marginal ridge, respectively.

One cusp tip and the other cusp tip are separated by a deep groove, which is called a fissure. The fissure separating the buccal cusp tip and the lingual cusp tip is called a central fissure, the fissure separating the mesial buccal cusp tip and the distal buccal cusp tip on the molar tooth is called a buccal fissure, and the fissure separating the mesial lingual cusp tip and the distal lingual cusp tip is called a lingual fissure. The slope separated by the central fissure in the region enclosed by the occlusal margin of the occlusal surface is called an inner bevel, and the slope at the lingual side or buccal side from the occlusal margin is called an outer bevel.

The fissure separating the buccal cusp tip or the lingual cusp tip and the marginal ridge is called a triangular fissure. The triangular fissure exists in each one of the mesial buccal side, the distal buccal side, the mesial lingual side, and the distal lingual side.

A joining point of two or more fissures is deeply dented, which is called a pit.

The pit at joining point of the mesial buccal side triangular fissure, the mesial lingual side triangular fissure, and the central fissure is called a mesial pit.

The pit at joining point of the distal buccal side triangular fissure, the distal lingual side triangular fissure, and the central fissure is called a distal pit.

However, with respected to the distal pit of the lower side first molar tooth, a joining point of the distal buccal fissure is called a distal pit only in the mandibular first molar tooth in a description of page 154 of “Anatomy of permanent teeth of Japanese people” (published by Anatome). This pit is unclear, and it is hard to identify mostly in the existing artificial teeth. In all other teeth, the pit is defined at the joining point of the mesial and distal triangular fissures and the central fissure, and hence in the description of the present invention, according to the definition of the distal pit in other positions, the joining point of the distal triangular fissure and the central fissure is called the distal pit.

The joining point of the central fissure and the lingual fissure is called a central fossa.

The process running linearly from the cusp tip to the pit is called a triangular ridge.

A major axis of a tooth is called a dental axis. The dental axis is a line segment connecting from the central part of the dental crown to the central part of the dental root. Since it is difficult to identify the center of a non-symmetrical tooth, in the description of the present invention, it is expressed by the line segment connecting between a point for dividing the line segment connecting between the mesial pit and a distal pit at a specific ratio in each position, and the point for dividing the line segment connecting between the distal buccal cusp tip and the mesial lingual cusp tip at a specific ratio in each position.

Dimensions of a tooth profile are generally expressed by the width diameter, the major diameter, and the buccal lingual diameter.

To measure the dimensions of a tooth profile, it is desired to determine in the condition of fixing the tooth at a specific position. A specific measuring method is described below.

First, a system of XYZ three-dimensional coordinates in which the lateral direction on a horizontal plane is the X-axis, the direction from the near side to the inner side is the Y-axis, and the direction of height is the Z-axis is set. A measuring table is prepared, which is capable of measuring the distance between planes when the object is enclosed by planes orthogonal in each axial direction of the system of coordinate. It is preferred to use a contact type or non-contact type three-dimensional measuring instrument, but in a simple method, three micro gauges or vernier calipers capable of measuring in the unit of 0.01 mm are prepared, and installed orthogonally on a desk or other horizontal plane.

The instruments are provisionally adhered to the base of the artificial tooth to be measure by using soft wax for fine adjustment of position, and fixed firmly by using an adhesive or the like after adjustment.

The fixing position is determined, setting the occlusal surface as the upside, by the X-axis in mesial-distal direction, the Y-axis in buccal-lingual direction, and the Z-axis in height direction. At this time, the mesial pit and the distal pit are parallel to the XZ plane, that is, the position is finely adjusted so that the Y-coordinate values at the pit positions are equal, and that the dental axis of the tooth may be parallel to the Z-axis. The dental axis in the description of the present invention, as mentioned above, the line segment connecting between the point for dividing the line segment connecting between the mesial pit and the distal pit at a specific ratio in each position, and the point for dividing the line segment connecting between the distal buccal cusp tip and the mesial lingual cusp tip at a specific ratio in each position.

A set of artificial teeth is provided in a combination of artificial teeth of all positions of upper and lower jaws, which are dimensionally expressed by one common count.

Next, an embodiment of each of the artificial teeth of the present invention is described below.

The numerical values mentioned below are in a range based on the dimensional precisions all actually can be provided. A more preferable range is a range based on the dimensional precision capable of judging the effects of the present invention visually.

In the following embodiments, the right side posterior teeth are described, but the left side posterior teeth are made uniform in operability, and it is desired to be in mirror symmetrical relation with the right side. Specifically, it is possible to manufacture by a mold processing method using a shape model inverted in the mesial-distal direction by a CAD system, or a mold processing method by mirror inverting method of the mold processing data itself.

Therefore, in the set of artificial teeth of this positional relation, the denture of a specific occlusal state can be manufactured efficiently in a short time, and the labor is saved in the occlusion adjusting work after installation of the denture.
